Awesome Window Manager Config

Awesome-3.5

Awesome Configs updated to 3.5

I have Finally cleaned up the Config slightly

All the Extra widgets that were custom written have now been moved to ./widgets

Vicious widgets are still where they are supposed to be.

I have also updated the bitcoin widget to no longer use the Defunct MtGox api and instead replaced it with https://bitcoinaverage.com/api

Though you will still need to add these to wi.lua yourself if you intend on using the widgets in ./widgets

---

To use this config it needs to be placed in $HOME/.config/awesome the easiest way to do this is:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/setkeh/Awesome-3.5.git $HOME/.config/awesome

The --recursive is required due to the configs reliance on vicious which i have added as a submodule. (If you have cloned the repo and the vicious directory is empty you can re clone the repo or update the submodule to ull the full repo)

The config should be pretty Self explanitory though if you have issues please post an issue.

All of the Widgets config is in wi.lua to try to make rc.lua more manageable by default this config is setup for a laptop.

To Use the config for a Desktop you can simply edit rc.lua and comment out the battery widgets in the wibox section (or any other widgets you dont want)

I have Added some default wallpapers thanks to Nasa and the Hubble Space Telescope and removed the broken symlink for bg.png.

Once you have Cloned the repo and are running this config for the first time you will se in the awesome menu a walpapers list you can select any of the wallpapers from there the awesome config will handle the rest, Awesome will restart every wallpaper change this is normal behaviour if you want your own images to show up in the list then copy them to,

$HOME/.config/awesome/wallpapers/ 

and restart Awesome you can then select them from the drop down list.

awesome's Issues

bg.png is a symbolic link to your own folder.

"bg.png" in the default theme folder points to /home/setkeh/.config.... . This prevents the file from being found if the username is different, and causes an error. There should probably be a file instead of the symbolic link.

error on awesome 3.5.6

Hi, thanks for your effort. I am using Ubuntu 14.04 with Awesome 3.5.6. I got an error "module 'vicious' not found". From the error, it seems that it is looking for a file vicious.lua but it your files I only see a vicious directory.

Vicious error

I get an error if I start awesome. Unfortunately I am new to arch linux and awesome and don't really know what to do. I made a screenshot of the error.

background path

Both themes/default/theme.lua and rc.lua is referring to the background themes/default/bg.png. However, the file doesn't exist. I suppose it should be themes/default/background.png.

Update to Awesome 4.1?
